Back in April I got in a little accident with the Tahoe, some guy tried getting in my lane last minute. We were on a one way, three lane road, I was in the left most lane to make a turn... well he came up like a bullet and tried getting in my lane and hit me and brought his entire vehicle down the passenger side of my truck. The upper side marker (the one without any light) got a paint scuff, as did the whole passenger side of my truck from his car, or mirror, or whatever. My mirror also got hit, the aluminum trim on my rear wheel well is gone missing, and my brand spanking new tube steps that weren't even on a week got hit and dented and scuffed. OH! and both my tires on that side got chewed up a bit on the sidewall... my tires basically destroyed his driver side, there was plastic everywhere.

Guy got physical with me, I kept my cool and got out of the truck and looked at his vehicle. Someone called the cops before we did because they saw him grab me, the cops took our statements, our insurance, and gave each other our info. Ended up messing my shoulder in the accident, he hit pretty hard and I twisted and jammed my shoulder int he process.

Two months later, he still hasn't contacted my insurance company, there was an apparent witness that reported in 27 hours after the accident who also wont call back my insurance company, and the other driver also didn't have any insurance, he gave a phony card.

Still waiting to see how this all pans out. I haven't even taken pics yet lol, hopefully I will today and put them up tonight.

However on a positive note.... I picked up some rims yesterday. Looked up the price for them brand new, $500 a pop if you can find four. 24" Kaotik Passion rims (below obviously not my hoe)

Extremely chrome... well I bought em from a used car dealership... got them in a trade in of a tan tahoe and they put factory wheels back on the tahoe. The person that owned the rims sprayed them with undercoating... they are black and all rough.......

$100 for the full set. Nothing wrong, 3 tires hold air, one tire needs to be replaced. Win?



smaller large pic if expanded hahahah

Might be sprayed with plastic dip. See if it peels off. If not prep sol will take off the under coat.

Alright well it is a nice under coating on there. Picked up some Zinsser(sp?) From menards, it's an extremely strong power stripper. The "specialist" didn't know if it would work so I bought a small $5 can and chanced it. You cannot put this stuff in a plastic container for it will melt it. Glass, ceramic, or bare metal. Within 10 minutes this stuff peeled off like butter. Chrome cracked. It just looks bad.
